There's been a lot of kvetching among Democrats about the Democratic leadership in the wake of the election result.
How about we do something about it?
I started a petition at MoveOn: Donna Edwards for DCCC chair
Progressive DC insiders have informed me that:
1) the choice belongs to Leader Pelosi
2) progressive Donna Edwards is among the candidates that Leader Pelosi is looking at
3) Donna Edwards is the only progressive that Leader Pelosi is seriously considering
4) Donna Edwards meets the insider plausibility tests that Democratic insiders have set for someone in this position.
So, how about a progressive to lead the DCCC?
Donna Edwards represents the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party. She supports fair trade. She was a staffer at Public Citizen. She has good relations with J Street.
If you support Donna Edwards for DCCC chair, you can tell Leader Pelosi here.
